Weapons loaders assigned to the 2nd Bomb Wing, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, load an unarmed AGM-86B Air-Launched Cruise Missile aboard a B-52H Stratofortress in prior to a Sept. 22, 2014 Nuclear Weapons System Evaluation Program simulated combat mission. The loading was part of an end-to-end operational evaluation of 8th Air Force and Task Force 204’s ability to deliver the weapon from storage to its final target.
